With my background in Art History, I offer engaging 1:1 tutoring sessions that explore significant art movements while delving into how art connects deeply with human emotion and history. Through my sessions, you’ll learn how to "read" paintings by examining symbolism, techniques, and cultural influences that give artworks their depth and significance.

Art is a reflection of human experience and emotion, and I focus on helping you understand how these elements are expressed across various periods. From the symbolism in Renaissance paintings to the emotional intensity of modern art, I break down complex ideas into simple, relatable concepts. You’ll gain insight into how artists communicate through their work and how historical contexts—political upheavals, social changes, or technological advancements—shaped artistic movements.

Each lesson is tailored to your specific needs, whether you're looking to excel in exams or expand your knowledge for personal growth. We’ll also explore art as a form of storytelling, where you’ll learn how to interpret the choices artists made in colour, composition, and style. My aim is to not only help you understand art from an academic perspective but also foster a personal connection to it, making history and emotion come alive in each artwork. You’ll develop critical thinking skills in visual analysis and come away with a deeper appreciation for how art continues to reflect the human experience today.
